Fishers of Menace
Book 1 of the Faith and Foils series
Cassie Bridgestone prefers tea, church, her cat, and running a country-decor shop in the quiet town of Banford. A local fishing tournament loses its friendly character when a death leaves one of Cassie's friends accused of murder. Convinced the authorities have hooked the wrong suspect, she follows village gossip and overlooked clues despite the risks of amateur investigation. Lighthearted and clean, this cozy mystery suits readers who enjoy small-town ensembles, fishing competitions, loyal shopkeepers, animal companions, and sleuths whose determination is sharper than their official credentials.
